In May 2022, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, attended the premiere of the movie “Top Gun: Maverick” in London. At the event, Tom Cruise broke royal protocol by trying to hold Kate’s hand to help her walk up the stairs. However, Kate tactfully refused by placing her hand on her clutch, reminding Tom of the limits of communication with royal family members. Kate’s action not only maintained protocol but also made Tom Cruise feel confused and realized the difference in the code of conduct between the entertainment industry and the royal family.

After this event, Tom Cruise seemed to want to strengthen his relationship with Prince William and Kate Middleton. He hoped that through them, he could seek a new romantic relationship in the British upper class. However, Tom’s efforts did not receive the expected response, making him feel disappointed and realizing that approaching the British royal family is not simple.

This incident demonstrates the importance of understanding and respecting etiquette when interacting with British royalty, and highlights the cultural differences between the entertainment industry and the royal family.

After that event, Tom Cruise seemed to realize that just because he was an A-list star, it was not easy to approach the British royal family the way he wanted.

Although he was famous for being a gentleman and having good relationships with many famous people in the world, with the royal family, especially Prince William and Kate Middleton, everything could not go according to the Hollywood script. This made Tom Cruise somewhat sad, especially when he had helped organize a special screening of Top Gun: Maverick for William – who was a fan of the movie. However, Tom Cruise did not give up in his efforts to build relationships with the British aristocracy. He continued to appear at luxury events in London, making friends with many powerful figures in politics and the royal family. However, William and Kate’s moderate attitude made him realize that it was not easy to become a part of the royal world without the right background. Meanwhile, the media did not ignore this small detail, as many people began to speculate whether Tom Cruise was trying to “reach” the royal family to raise his status.

Whatever the reality, this event is a reminder that even the most powerful stars in Hollywood cannot break the long-standing rules of the British royal family.
